What You Need To Know About TABC Seller Server Certification

By Mattie Knight


Serving or selling alcohol is not just for bartenders. Wait staff in hotels and restaurants, as well as cashiers at big retailers or local grocery stores may all be asked to sell or serve booze as a part of their job responsibilities. Since this is a big deal and there are a lot of laws regarding alcoholic beverages in Texas, you should definitely take a TABC seller server certification class to learn about your rights and responsibilities.

Though it is not required by law to take this class, it is highly recommended by the TABC, the governing body for alcohol sales in Texas. This class helps you learn the many laws regarding alcohol in the Lone Star state. You find out who you can serve to, when you may be required by law to stop serving or selling, and much more.

Laws are not the only thing that you will be learning in class. You will also get lots of tips about how to handle an intoxicated person, since you can no longer serve them alcohol once they are drunk. You will also learn how to spot a potentially fake license or ID card, which can be very helpful in preventing you from selling or serving to someone who is underage. These tips can be really useful, especially the first time you encounter these situations.

Now that you know why you should take this class, there is no reason not to sign up. But before you get ready to set a date to take it, you should know that there are special, TABC certified courses that are available from third parties. This type of certified class is the only one you should take, as others are not certified and may not give you the correct or most up to date information.

To make things easier for you, there are multiple ways that you can take one of these certified courses. A common one is a classroom where you show up to a class at a specified time and learn from a teacher as if you were in school, complete with quizzes and possibly a test involved for a specified amount of hours.

A traditional classroom environment does not work for everyone, though. If it does not work for you for any reason and you have a computer and Internet connection at home, there is another way. There are online only courses, similar to those offered by some colleges and universities, available instead. They are identical to what you would see in the classroom, only streamed via the Internet.

The third way that is available to you to take your course is to purchase a DVD of the entire classroom instruction. You get to take the entire class and learn at your own pace, which is great for busy people and students.

No matter which type of course you choose, you will get a chance to learn everything you need to know in order to be a confident seller or server of alcohol. You may be required by your employer to get recertified periodically, which helps you since you will always be up on the latest laws.
